She lives and works in St. Paul. St. Paul is home to the oldest market in Liberia and is known for their fish due to its location by the sea.

Patricia has a table business from which she sells palm oil, rice, etc for the past ten years. She works ten hours a day at her business. Her greatest challenge in business is the small income. She intends to use the loan to buy inventory. She started her business by selling for her mother. She likes her business because she makes more profit. She hopes to one day own a house.
